Your own @p ship name is not easily discoverable #319

Problem Unless I'm completely missing something, your own ship's @p name appears nowhere in the UI until and unless you send a message to a channel.

Proposed Solution Make the user's @p appear in various places, such as:

In the top line after the "Leap" box (perhaps as "Logged in as <@p>")
Hover text for the ship's sigil at top right in the top line
To the right of the sigil in the main section of /~profile/identity
As hover text for the sigil in the sidebar of /~profile/identity

cc @urcades, we should put the @p next to the sigil in the top right again.

"Profile presentation" is changing up on both the landscape/grid front and groups proper, and the proposal is slightly defunct/aged as to not be immediately relevant anymore.

However, I empathize with the needs of moons and comets especially in this regard (easily finding my name to use/share) but there are other ways to solve this apart from simply surfacing one's name at all times. We'll get this feeling right soon!
